SALTMAN AND HENRY IN LEADING
SEVEN WITH ONE ROUND TO GO
IN AUSTRALIAN STROKE-PLAY

Lloyd Saltman and Scott Henry give Scotland a double-barrelled representation in the leading seven as the Australian men's open amateur stroke-play championship swings into its final round at New South Wales Golf Club on the Pacific coastline of Botany Bay near Sydney.
Aussie Andrew Dodt has shot a 68 to share the lead with New South Welshman Scott Arnold.
Queenslander Dodt came home with a flurry as he carded a bogey-free back nine. In fact, Dodt's round of two-under 68 was almost blemish free other than a bogey on the par-4 seventh.
Arnold shot a 66 to join Dodt at the top of the leaderboard. The New South Welshman started the day at two-under-par but piled a hat-trick of birdies on the front nine to finish six-under the card and lead the race to the title.
Overnight leader Ben Parker struggled today, shooting a 77 to fall back to one-under, five shy of the leaders. The 19-year-old Englishman led the field by four at the start of play but two bogeys inside the opening four holes compounded by a double at the seventh saw him drop back to equal sixth.
Countryman David Horsey meanwhile catapulted himself into contention with a four-under 66. The Englishman opened with a birdie-bogey combination but was a picture of consistency after that.
Horsey did not drop a stroke after the second hole and picked up and an eagle at 14.
Walker Cup Scot Lloyd Saltman is tied with Horsey two strokes behind the leaders. After an erratic front nine, Saltman settled to record four birdies on his way to a 68.
Scott Henry, the 2006 Scottish open amateur stroke-play champion from Cardross, gives Scotland a second player in the leading seventh. Henry is joint sixth on 209.The winner of the event will earn himself an exemption into the 2007 MFS Australian Open at The Australia Golf Club in December while the top 32 qualify for next week's Australian match-play championship at the same NSW venue.
